Hey. I got FluxBox installed on a slack 9.0 machine and I have a problem. I have downloaded/extracted a custom theme for it and I don't know how to activate it. The current theme is plain and boring, and I can't figure out how to change it to this theme. Please help! The docs were of no help either!

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Well it is all in the docs. Try typing 'man fluxbox'

"The default installation of Fluxbox provides some of these
style files. Usually they are put in
/usr/X11R6/share/fluxbox/styles. You can study or edit
these files to grasp how the Fluxbox style mechanism
works. You can use the [style], [stylesdir] and [styles-
menu] menu commands in your menu file to be able to select
and change between styles on the fly.

But you can also create a directory named
~/.fluxbox/styles in your homedirectory and put your own
style files here. Of course you may choose any name for
this directory, but many downloadable themes will rely on
the name styles (following the bb.themes.org naming
scheme)."
